Distorted Chambers In The Realm Of Dreams

A Prologue

Distorted Chambers in the Realm of Dreams focuses on dreams and nightmares that have had something going on in them that flowed like a tale. I've only included those which had some sort of 'story' to them. Even if they don't make a lot of sense. But that's how dreams work. Also the focus on time and the lucid dreaming factor. I have seen events unfold right as they happened in real life, but the dream itself would come off as boring or unresolved. In this book of dreams, subtitled Dream-Nightmare Sequence, I have offered up the most vivid of dreams from this time.

The passing of time is different here, there is no hour in minutes of sixty. An hour here can be quite a lengthy travel, or suspended in some backward way. No time is considered. And it can be gone in a microflash, and begin again with no tracking of the previous time, and unlike the first hour, may hold the turn of a day within. Repeating and playing itself back as if recollecting its own raison d'etre. In the same hour. All in the same hour.

If you find that you stand on a shore and see the ocean, as far as the eye can see and it looks endless and wide, but then find that if you run a few paces ahead into the water you risk traveling through the water and on to another place, and you find that there are strange corners or pathways that you cannot reach but see, and there seems to be a boundary there and the water ends at those points. That's when you'll know that you are in a such distorted chamber somewhere out on the Ley Lines.

This could be connected to an ocean in the present time, but it could also be an ocean that no longer exists in the waking world. That is how going from place to place is like in dreams. There's a connection to that dimension, to the present, and to the past. And sometimes if you can walk through certain points where energy flows and you're dreaming lucidly, you can see the future.

Of all these boundaries, like the seas of dreams, you can reach those places, if you know the way. You have to know how to use sound and other elements around you. You won't have the use of your body. Your body isn't here. And that's what allows one to travel through these places. Your body is an anchor, but you are free to go wherever you will. Remember though, there are other entities sometimes.

As there are for the most part no dates for these dreams, I have tried to give an outline of the timeframes they had occurred. At given times I try to point out a date as close as I can figure. I cannot give exact dates for all. But there are some that I can. It is important to note while reading through these recollections of dreams and nightmares that sometimes I'm relating a feeling or what something seemed to me, to be. A lot of feelings are within these pages. What images I cannot conjure to accurately describe the dream, I'm telling you the feeling of that dream and what it was to me.

This little book of dreams and nightmares I had saved in a journal before setting them in proper order for this work. As I seemed to be in the right frame of mind to do justice to the descriptions I had earlier jotted down, I was able to finish a task I wanted to complete. I've written this during what seemed like a lull in time itself when it was dreary outside and there was nothing but an ill wind stirring, between October and December of 1997. A God-forsaken season.
